Chapter 014: Lesson 1
"What? Sanwei Academy is full? It's only been less than two days. Su Fu listened to the Yu Pavilion, and Su Pujia was quite surprised to learn the news, "How is this possible?!" ”
Cai Xia replied, "It's true, Miss." ”
"What the hell is going on?" Su Pujia was surprised, and Fang couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Miss Hui, Sanwei Academy doesn't recruit students like ordinary private schools." Cai Xia reported, "It recruits children from poor families. The parents of those children are greedy for 10 days of free, and they are not satisfied with the benefits of unconditional withdrawal from school, so they are rushing to sign up. Sanwei Academy scheduled three days of registration, but I didn't expect it to be full in less than two days. The people behind begged hard, but Ji Ning didn't agree, so they just asked them to wait for the next batch of enrollments. ”
"This ......," Su Pujia couldn't help but ponder.
After a while, she said slowly: "I didn't expect him to have some small plans. ”
Then, she shook her head lightly and said, "It's a pity that even if these little plans succeed for a while, they will not succeed after all." He has that mind, why not put his energy into studying hard? Only if you are full of your own talent, why can't you settle down? ”
"The slave thinks so too." Cai Xia said, "Those poor parents are just coveting the benefits of the ten days of free, and when they really want to be reined in, they will definitely disperse in a hurry, and they will work hard in vain." If you can really afford to let your child study, those parents can send their children to other talented gentlemen. ”
When the news spread that Ji Ning had filled up the enrollment quota ahead of schedule, the people in the entire Jinling City were startled, thinking that they had heard it wrong. But immediately after learning the specific situation, everyone scoffed on the spot, waiting to see Ji Ning's joke.
After Ji Jing learned the news, his eyes shot a vicious gaze, and he snorted coldly: "You must step on it!" However, I won't smash your private school right away, and when you think you see a glimmer of hope, you will be completely desperate! ”
…………
Ji Ning ignored the heated discussions about the enrollment situation of Sanwei Academy, and sat in his study and read leisurely. The pretty Yahuan Yuling stood next to her and waited, her red sleeves adding fragrance.
Although the enrollment was full the day earlier, he decided to start classes at the scheduled time.
Tired of reading, put down the book, took the fragrant tea brought by Yu Ling, and then drank tea to quench his thirst and rested, while enjoying Yu Ling standing behind him rubbing his shoulders and beating his back with a pair of soft and boneless little hands.
After tasting a cup of tea, Ji Ning stood up and walked out of the study to the courtyard to breathe.
It happened to be a cloudy day today, and it rained a lot last night, which gave the hot autumn tiger a fire, so the cool breeze in the courtyard here was also comfortable.
After breathing a breath of fresh air, Ji Ning's heart suddenly moved, and he walked to the open space in the middle of the courtyard, set up a frame, and slowly practiced a set of punches.
The gentleman learns the six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Among them, archery and imperial refers to archery and horseback riding, which is force.
Orthodox scholars and Confucians are not powerless, but both civil and military.
Lingyu was not too surprised that Ji Ning practiced boxing, after all, she had seen Ji Ning practice indiscriminately for three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but she was very confused by Ji Ning's slow practice of a set of boxing techniques that she had never seen before.
"It's so slow, it's soft, can you hit someone?" She couldn't help but sneer.
Half an hour later, Ji Ning finally finished his work, stood side by side with his feet, slowly pressed down with his palms and eyebrows below his navel, and then returned to his normal standing posture.
Yu Ling immediately sent the semi-wet Suzhou fine cotton worsted white cloth that had been prepared for Ji Ning to wipe his sweat.
"Young Master, what kind of punch did you fight just now? How is it soft? Yu Ling looked at Ji Ning, who was wiping his sweat, and couldn't help asking.
When Ji Ning heard this, his sweat wiping movement slowed down slightly, and then returned to normal and smiled: "It is a set of boxing techniques that can strengthen the body, similar to the five bird operas handed down by the divine doctor Hua Tuo." I learned it by reading a book a while ago. ”
Before crossing over, Ji Ning had studied Taijiquan from an authentic old Tai Chi for more than five years, although he only learned the skin, but he had no pressure to deal with three or four ordinary big men.
"Oh, no wonder." Yu Ling nodded and understood.
She still knows about the five poultry operas, and there are many people who are practicing, but basically they only have the effect of strengthening the body and maintaining health, and they can't be used to fight with others.
The next day, Ji Ning entered the D classroom on time, stood on the podium, and looked down, all the students had arrived, and they all looked up to him with a longing face.
It's a pity that these 30 students are very good and bad, and they are incompatible with the image of scholars who are neatly dressed, long-sleeved and wide-robed, and have an elegant temperament.
I saw that among the thirty students, they were ranging in age from five to their thirties, dressed in shabby clothes, some with patches, and their faces were black and thin. Especially the five-year-old child sitting in front of him was still snorting.
Faced with the indecent image of his first batch of students, Ji Ning was very calm.
At the beginning, he chose to open a private school in the downtown area of the west of the city, which he had already predicted.
In fact, the audience for which he opened a private school is these poor people at the bottom.
In the Great Yong Dynasty, everything was inferior, only reading was high, the literati were the absolute ruling class, and reading and literacy was what almost everyone longed for. Especially the people at the bottom are more eager to change their fate through reading.
It's just that it's not easy to read and write, because it's too expensive.
The Dayong Dynasty stipulated that only those who had the merit of showing talent or above could open a private school. And Xiucai has already visited the Temple of Literature to get the literature, and began to learn the small seal, not only enjoy various privileges, but also make easy money, and there is no problem with a well-off life. They worked hard to open private schools to teach students, and the constraints they received were not something that the poor people at the bottom could afford.
Ji Ning has crossed over from the modern era of the earth, and is accustomed to the idea that all people are created equal, and there is no concept of hierarchy, so he doesn't mind teaching the poor people at the bottom.
Of course, the most important thing is that he sees the infinite desire of the people at the bottom to read and write.
The poor are also rich, just a little bit. Collecting armpits into furs and accumulating sand into towers may not be impossible to make money.
What's more, with his current reputation as not learning and not knowing, he can only start from the bottom.
"Stand up." Ji Ning stood on the podium and shouted loudly.
The thirty students below immediately stood still on their feet, then bowed to him and shouted, "Hello sir." ”
They had been taught this link by Ji Ning beforehand.
Ji Ning nodded and said, "Hello." Sit down. ”
The students in the audience immediately sat down.
However, there was a voice of discussion outside the classroom: "Phew, he is also worthy of being a teacher?" What a shame! ”
"That's it! Relying on the shadow to get the fame of the show, I know how many catties I have! ”
“……”
I saw that outside the classroom, there were seven or eight scholars in Confucian costumes standing onlookers, and they were talking about it.
These scholars are all scholars who have not been in the first place for many years, and they have no fame for showing their talents, and they don't know how jealous and jealous Ji Ning is that he can get the fame of showing talents without participating in the imperial examination.
However, they didn't dare to speak too loudly, let alone smash the Three Flavors Academy, because there were ten tall and sturdy men next to them.
Ji Ning turned a deaf ear to the criticism outside the classroom, and read aloud to the students in the audience: "Rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of millets in the book; There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book; Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book; If the boy is determined to live his life. The Six Classics read to the window. ”
The students in the audience didn't understand it, and vaguely heard what Ji Ning was referring to was that there would be money and beautiful women in the reading club.
When a few non-scholars outside the classroom heard this, their voices of criticism suddenly quieted down, and they listened carefully to Ji Ning's poems.
After Ji Ning finished reading Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng's "Persuasion Poems", the few scholars who were not the first were silent for a while, and suddenly broke out.
Ignoring the staring of ten men with tigers on their backs, they rushed directly into the classroom, pointed at Ji Ning and scolded him: "Ji Ning, you are so bold, you dare to blaspheme a scholar!" What Qianzhongsu, Golden House, Yan Ruyu, so utilitarian, this is a great slander against the world's scholars! ……”
Ji Ning turned his face and ordered the ten Qin Mansion family members with a flat expression: "Since they don't follow the rules, blast them out of the academy!" ”
"No!" The ten strong men of the Qin Mansion let out a loud shout, picked up the troublesome scholars like chickens, strode out of the classroom, and then threw these non-first scholars out of the Sanwei Academy.
After blasting away the few unranked scholars, Ji Ning turned his face, raised his hands and pressed them falsely, and said to the students in the audience: "Everyone is not impatient. ”
The students in the audience gradually fell silent.
"Do you know why they are so furious, like killing their father?" Ji Ning said, "Because I told the truth." ”
No matter what the expressions of these students were, Ji Ning then said in a passionate and incendiary tone: "Everything is inferior, only reading is high." If you are literate in reading, you will have a thousand millet seeds! You can't have a golden house! You can marry a beautiful and virtuous wife! You can go in and out of the carriage and sit in the sedan chair! You can be respected by everyone! You can glorify your ancestors for a hundred years! ……”
The thirty students in the audience listened and all became excited, and their eyes shot with a glittering look of longing.
"Sir, I'm literate, do I have rock sugar gourds to eat?" The five-year-old kid sitting in the front row couldn't help but ask loudly.
Ji Ning immediately said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes! Not only are there rock sugar gourds to eat, but there are also so many rock sugar gourds in a mountain for you to eat! ”
The little boy's eyes widened, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he shouted, "Sir, teach me to read and write!" I want to read and write! ”
"Sir, I'm literate, do I have good clothes to wear?" Another boy of eight or nine years old in patched clothes couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
Ji Ning said loudly: "Yes! There are not only Jiangnan Seiko fine spun cotton clothes, but also many precious silk satin clothes for you to wear! ”
The boy received Ji Ning's affirmative answer, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
"Sir, if I am literate in reading, will I be able to marry a daughter-in-law?" A poor boy of sixteen or seventeen asked in a loud voice.
Ji Ning said affirmatively: "Of course! There is Yan Ruyu in the book, when did you see that a scholar can't marry a daughter-in-law?! What scholar's daughter-in-law isn't beautiful and virtuous?! ”
"Thank you, sir!" The poor boy said excitedly, his eyes shining even brighter, and he shot a light of intense longing.
The entire classroom was completely boiling, screaming, and there was a strong desire for Ji Ning to teach them to read and write immediately.
Even the Qin Mansion family members who were standing outside the classroom couldn't help but be encouraged by Ji Ning's words, and their blood was boiling, and they couldn't wait to rush into the classroom and follow Ji Ning to read and write.
